Chic - Dance Dance Dance: Best Of Chic - Music & Performance - CD

Funk legends Chic had numerous best-selling and influential albums that have survived the tides of time. This compilation album attempts the near impossible by attempting to cobble together Chic's best; it succeeds by including cuts from timeless albums such as Chic, C'est Chic and Risqué.

You think disco was nothing more than assembly line funk and freeze-dried beats? Then you need to step into the crisp grooves and walloping boogie found on this stunning collection of Chic's '70s recordings. Such hits as "Good Times," "Dance Dance Dance," and "Le Freak" used the stylistic innovations of James Brown and Sly Stone as a blueprint for a new era of funk. Bernard Edwards' basslines are so provocative they seem to talk, while Nile Rodgers' skeletal guitar runs hark back to Steve Cropper's slashing style. Sure, the songs don't say much. Sure, the dance mixes collected here ramble on after about six minutes. But once you step into these grooves -- grooves that influenced an entire generation of artists from David Byrne to Prince -- you will realize that these were indeed good times. ~ John Floyd, All Music Guide
